Perfect. Those details allow us to make the Privacy Policy much more accurate.

I would update the policy to specifically identify:

Google Analytics
Google AdSense
PayPal
Stripe
ActiveCampaign
Complianz Cookie Consent Plugin

Google requires AdSense publishers to disclose data collection, sharing, and technologies such as cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, and identifiers. (Google Support) Google Analytics also collects information such as approximate location, browser and device information, session statistics, and website interaction data. (Google Support)

Here is the updated version I recommend for Beverly Hills Magazine:
